Butterfly wings aren’t just for looks! They’re covered in tiny interlocking structures that act much like roof shingles, keeping #butterflies cool in extreme climates. Study by Andrew Warren, @AdrianaBriscoe and others. Story: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/butter…

Butterfly wings are ALIVE ... with their own heart, stress and thermal sensors, I kid you not. Great video clip here of the major findings from this nice integrative study rdcu.be/b0TZ0

The Panther (Neurosigma siva, Limenitidinae, Nymphalidae), puddling on rodent remains from regurgitated owl pellets. Another species where there are no known life history records. flic.kr/p/2io4yRX #insect #China #Yunnan #itchydogimages #butterfly #Lepidoptera #entomology

Argynnis paphia is one big butterfly of temperate forests which in Portugal is fairly limited to the northern half, avoiding mediterranean areas. Males patrol glades and hedges looking for flowers to feed on, and females to mate with. #FebruaryButterflyMonth BC Europe

The Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis Paphia) is a vibrant and eye-catching butterfly but to me, its 'valesina' form has a much more subtle, almost ethereal beauty. BC Europe #FebruaryButterflyMonth

I uploaded a bunch of caterpillar photographs to iNaturalist from my past trips to Borneo and Colombia today. I have no idea what many of them are. Tagging Lepsoc & TheLepSoc - maybe some lepidopterists will enjoy viewing them... lots of diversity! inaturalist.org/observations/3…

Where does the enigmatic nymphalid butterfly genus Davidina belong in the tree of life? Sister to the genus Oeneis and Neominois! First described as a pierid, now we know what it actually is. Preprint by Vladimirs Lukhtanov and Dubatolov: doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…
